Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...the best Gospel and inspirational A.I. music on the internet!
"firesong" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons Thanks for stopping by. It's my desire to faithfully share that which has been given to me. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family and friends, have done over past 45 years. There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site. Special thanks go to my partners in music, my daughter Amber, son Ian and the guys of Single Heart (Gene, Bob, Chris, Marty and Tata) who joined me to sing praises to the Lord down through the years. I also wish to thank those co-writers and artists that have joined with me in developing new music the passed few years to share on this website. I'm now featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence) groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs. I hope it's evident to everyone... that though the melodies and harmonies, styles and singers may change... JESUS has always been and will always be...the Song! ...this music is one simple expression of a very thankful heart. (Dan is a retired firefighter and ordained minister)

Story behind the song
I had several melodies without lyrics, Neil liked this one and began writing this paraphrase of the woman at the well, sent it to me and I finished the lyrics and arrangement
Lyrics
Verse 1. See the Lord sitting by Jacob’s well Tired and weary from His journey that day And see the soul of the woman drawing water there To her thirsting heart He would say, Chorus: Whoever drinks of the waters here In time they will thirst again….and again But whoever drinks of the cup I bring Living Water will ever spring…. from within Verse 2: Hear her voice and the mystery she would tell It was the message of deliverance and grace Feel her joy as she leads them to Jacob’s well To the Water that now flows in that place Chorus: Whoever drinks of the waters here In time they will thirst again….and again But whoever drinks of the cup He brings Living Water begins to spring…from deep within Bridge 1 Come and drink...from the fountain that flowed that day Let the Lord…wash your sin and your guilt...take your thirst all away Chorus: For whoever drinks of the waters there In time they will thirst again….and again But whoever drinks of the cup He brings Living Water will ever spring…from within Bridge 2 Come and drink...and quench your thirsting souls Only Jesus...can lead us...to the Water of Life (Narration) John 4:10; 13-14 Come and drink from the Water of Life Come and drink from the Water of Life Come and drink from the Water of Life
