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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
Buddy initially sent his lyric to me in April of 2024...a year and a half later I altered some of the original lyrics and added the melody and let the A.I. do the arranging and recording...thanks Buddy for sending your powerful lyrics to me...sorry for the delay.
Lyrics
In a world so full of chaos, a story often told, A man who carried our burdens, with a heart of gold. With fire in His words, He walked the ancient land, Through trials and tribulations, on faith He would stand. He found Himself upon a journey, it was His destiny, The weight upon His shoulders carried willingly. Oh, He climbed that hilltop, driven by sheer will, The man who braved the crossroad, climbed right up that hill With every step He took, He showed us the Way, Through the cross, He shined a light, bringing hope for us today Through dark nights and raging storms He faced his scorner's jeers, Resilience like a mountain, that wiped away the fear The crowds gathered 'round Him seeking truth and grace, A man with conviction, seeking the Father's face He carried a message like a lantern in the night, Guiding all who listened, to find their inner light. Oh, He climbed that hilltop, driven by sheer will, The man who braved the crossroad, climbed right up that hill With every step he took, He showed us the Way, Through the cross, He shined a light, bringing hope for us today On that hill, He offered forgiveness, a sacrifice untold, A symbol of compassion, a love as pure as gold. So let us carry onward, inspired by His plight, To spread His legacy, filling the world with light. Oh, He climbed that hilltop, driven by sheer will, The man who braved the crossroad, climbed right up that hill With every step He took, He showed us the Way, Through the cross, He shined a light, bringing hope for us today As we stand together, hand in hand and side by side, We will proclaim this Gospel that Jesus is alive And on our journey through this life, we'll strive to be, As brave and strong as that man Who climbed the hilltop for you and me Oh, He climbed that hilltop, driven by sheer will, The man who braved the crossroad, climbed right up that hill With every step He took, He showed us the Way, Through the cross, He shined a light, bringing hope for us today Through the cross, He shined a light, bringing hope for us today.
