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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
There's a scene in the movie "Ben-Hur" (the one with Charlton Heston) where Jesus is dying on the cross and His blood was flowing down the cross. Then it mingles with a stream flowing down the hill with the rain into the valley of the lepers where Judah's mother and sister are. And as the blood reaches the place where they are , they are healed of their disease. That movie scene was the inspiration of this song that I started writing back in 1980.
Lyrics
Crimson flowed that day at Calvary Like a gentle healing rain Love conquered hatred on that day Mercy triumphed through the pain There's no other sacrifice That could wash away the stain Sin just could not stand against That gentle crimson rain My life was filled with deadly pride My heart was stained with selfish sin But Jesus came and with His blood Applied a crimson balm that healed me deep within I thought I'd strayed to far away I thought I'd strayed to far away I thought I'd never see His face But love would shower over me With the crimson flow of grace (chorus) Crimson flowed that day at Calvary Like a gentle healing rain Love conquered hatred on that day Mercy triumphed through the pain There's no other sacrifice That could wash away the stain Sin just could not stand against That gentle crimson rain (bridge) Let it rain...O Lord Till we feel the mighty flood Send the rain...O Lord Of the Savior's healing blood chorus) Crimson flowed that day at Calvary Like a gentle healing rain Love conquered hatred on that day Mercy triumphed through the pain There's no other sacrifice That could wash away the stain Sin just could not stand against That gentle crimson rain (outro) Yes There's no other sacrifice That could wash away the stain Sin just could not stand against That gentle crimson rain September 18, 2025
