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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
One of my older songs that I always wanted to record...based on the account from Luke's gospel (Luke 24:13-35)
Lyrics
On the road to Emmaus...brokenhearted, alone Thought we'd better leave it all behind Thought we'd better head on home All our hopes and plans and all our dreams Seems they'd all been lost We left them dying at Calvary Nailed there to a cross Met a stranger on that lonely road He walked with us a while He felt our sorrow He shared the load We found a comfort in His smile He sat beside us there shared a meal The Bread of Life...the living Word And in our lonely hearts where doubt once dwelt A brand new fire burned Didn't it burn within you brother Didn't your heart feel strangely warm When He spoke the veil was lifted We knew it was the Lord Where doubt and fear were living Faith began to reign And in the cold...we felt the flame Now it's burning and you'll never be the same Perhaps you're walking an Emmaus road So much confusion in your life You'd like to turn around and let it go Lay down the toil, the pain, the strife Then walk with Jesus for a little while Trust Him...take Him at His word And in your lonely heart where fear now dwells A brand new fire will burn Let it burn within you brother And your heart will feel strangely warm When He speaks the veil is lifted You'll know that it's the Lord Where doubt and fear are living Faith will rule and reign And in the cold...you'll feel the flame When it's burning you'll never be the same Oh, let it burn within you brother And your heart feel strangely warm When He speaks the veil is lifted You'll know that it's the Lord Where doubt and fear are living Faith will rule and reign And in the cold...you'll feel the flame When it's burning you'll never be the same
