New Christmas ballad (2008)...Dan & Amber
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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
I like to write a new Christmas song every year this is the 2008 offering. My daughter Amber adds her beautiful voice to the mix...very special for me.
Lyrics
Darkness fell on Bethlehem The night that He would come to them...was silent Then through the hush a baby cried The promised child had now arrived...the King While shepherds watched their flocks that night Angels brought a glorious light to guide them (to guide them) Then peasant voice and heaven's throng Would join as one in joyful song and sing Glory in the highest is the song they'd sing Praises came from heaven for the newborn King All of God's creation rises up to bring Glory in the highest to Jesus the King Wise men traveled from afar Following a distant star... they found Him Then they lay before the infant King Gifts of gold and other things men desire (men desire) They left Him on a different road Changed forever they would know...He'd found them (He's found them) And from their hearts they would believe The greatest gift that was received was Him Glory in the highest is the song they'd sing Praises from within them for an infant King With all of God's creation they would rise to bring Glory in the highest to Jesus the King Glory in the highest is the song we sing Praises from within us for the risen King With all of God's creation we will rise to bring Glory in the highest to Jesus the King Glory in the highest!
