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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
This song has been sung at many of my friends and families funerals...I wrote it to be sung at mine
Lyrics
I am longing to see that city Where faith becomes sight And I am hoping to be there someday In that city of light I've been yearning to cross that river That flows by God's throne I am weary and need delivered From this blind world I've known I've been travlin' this lonely valley With my faith leading me But I won't need my faith yonder Cause then I will see Life's a mirror dimly shrouded Darkened by fear But that city will be unclouded And our vision will be clear I've been travlin' this lonely valley With my faith leading me But I won't need my faith up yonder Cause then I gonna see Face to face I will see His glory Knowing as I am known All my faith I wanna lay before Him As a gift before His throne I am longing to see that city Where faith becomes sight And I am hoping to be there someday In that city of light Yes I am hoping to be there someday In that city of light In that city of light
