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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
In 1995 one of my best friends and fellow firefighter Greg Nolta died of leukemia. As I was driving his wife and small children home from Iowa City, we came upon the I-80 bridge over the Mississippi and we saw a large group of bald eagles fishing. We noticed how majestic and effortlessly they floated on the wind currents. At their highest altitudes they did not flap their wings they simply 'rested on the wind' to gain their new heights. It reminded me of Isaiah where the scriptures say, "And they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and rise up on wings as eagles". So when I got home from one of the hardest days of my life I wrote this song.
Lyrics
Here I am again O Lord finding doubt inside of me I know Youre calling me to more than I ever thought that I could be Deep within theres this longing Lord to know Your heart and do Your will But I need power Lord to stay the coarse, strength to climb this hill I wanna rise to meet the morning sun Give of my heart til the race is run I wanna flow like a river once again Fly like an eagle... when hes resting on the wind Give me strength to rise O Lord, above the clouds of doubt and fear Give me joy give my spirit song, hold me close and draw me near I need help to see beyond the darkened veil thats holding me Let me rise up on the wings of faith, set my spirit free Cause I wanna rise to meet the morning sun Give of my heart til the race is run I wanna flow like a river once again Fly like an eagle... when hes resting on the wind I wanna soar to the highest place Following You seeking Your face I wanna rise to meet the morning sun Give of my heart til the race is run I wanna flow like a river once again Fly like an eagle... when hes resting on the wind They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength And rise upon the wings as eagles... They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength And rise upon the wings as eagles... They're resting...They're resting...On the wind They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength And rise...resting on the wind
