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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
This is my 600th recording on soundclick.com. I wrote this song for my son Ian when he was a young man...some fatherly advice.
Lyrics
Life is like a great adventure that we live from day to day We need faith to be our mentor of fear will steal our lives away We'll never know the joy of living till we step beyond the veil We'll find joy when we start giving To something higher than ourselves Life can often be confusing with all the choices that we make Nestled there in all that choosing lost within the give and take We need to find its higher purpose get our lives off of the shelf We need to risk a life of service to something higher than ourselves (chorus) Higher...Lord... Call us to Your purposes help us know Your will Teach us to give...help us to live For something higher than ourselves There's a way that men keep going following blindly on they strive Seeking truth but never knowing the higher calling in their lives But Jesus brought a different teaching He said our lives are not our own They belong to the One that's reaching From heaven's highest holy throne (chorus) Higher Lord... Call us to Your purposes help us know Your will Teach us to give...help us to live For something higher than ourselves (bridge) Higher........than men will ever trod Take us.........to the heart of God (chorus) Higher...Lord... Call us to Your purposes help us know Your will Teach us to give...help us to live For something higher than ourselves Teach us to give...help us to live For something higher than ourselves Teach us to give...Oh help us to live For something higher than ourselves Higher.........than ourselves (repeat and fade)
