Single Heart's closing anthem
Artist picture
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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
On November 22, 2003 Single Heart hosted their final concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Galesburg Illinois after nearly 20 years together singing hundreds of concerts. Dan wrote this song to be their final act of worship and thanksgiving to the Lord. It was their final song that night to an audience of over a thousand people who had gathered in the century old theatre. It has never been performed in public since that night.
Lyrics
As we stand here tonight...in the glory of the spotlight Surrounded by these witnesses have we been a light...at all O Lord And have we shone each one here That You've been faithful through the laughter and the tears Have we been a witness Lord...down through the years To Your call... From this stage we now leave...have we shown the gospel we believe Have we been a witness Lord to those in need of Your grace that falls And in the midst of this life...crowned by joy...torn by strife Have we been a witness Lord...through the night To Your call... Have we been a witness worthy of Your holy presence, Your matchless love Have we lived the grace that we sing of...in our songs We're not worthy of Your Name Yet You have used us just the same You've always been faithful...so faithful...to Your call If there's one wish that we could have It's that one day we all would stand In His presence...hand in hand...in that great hall...heaven's hall And when we stand before the King We will lift our voice and sing Lord You've been faithful in everything...above all Have we been a witness worthy of Your holy presence, Your matchless love Have we lived the grace that we sing of...in our songs We're not worthy of Your Name Yet You have used us just the same You've always been faithful...so faithful...to Your call You've always been faithful...so faithful...to Your call Faithful to Your call!
