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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
Lyrics
Lord we would build a house for You...a place of prayer and praise Where fellowship runs sweet as wine and Your lovely name is raised Oh we would build an alter there and raise Your anthems high But if Your Spirit isn't there then it will not survive Except the Lord build the house we labor in vain Unless He comes to raise it up by the power of His name We can build up walls make then straight and strong But they're just an empty shell Unless Jesus comes and builds the house Himself We can build with gold and silver use the finest brick and clay But that won't bring His Spirit in or make the loving stay But if we unite together be the church He calls us to be Then we'll build a congregation that will stand eternally Except the Lord build the house we labor in vain Unless He comes to raise it up by the power of His name We can build up walls make then straight and strong But they're just an empty shell Unless Jesus comes and builds the house Himself Except the Lord build the house we labor in vain Unless He comes to raise it up by the power of His name We can build up walls make then straight and strong But they're just an empty shell Unless Jesus comes and builds the house Himself Unless Jesus comes and builds the house Himself O Jesus come and build this house... O Jesus come and build the house for us
