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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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)

Lyrics
There's an old rugged cross roughly hewn from a tree Where our savior would die to set us all free And the roughly hewn lumber formed into a cross Became the symbol of suffering and heartache and loss For they'd place a crown of thorns on His head And the wound in His side how it so freely bled Yes that tree was an emblem of suffering and pain Where are Savior was hung and eventually slain It was the tree that would carry our King to His death Yet He prayed for our sins with His dying breath Now that old rugged cross is the emblem of life A place we can leave all our suffering and strife We can hang them all there from that dying tree A place for our burdens where we're finally free Yes that old rugged cross roughly hewn from a tree Now the symbol of life and refuge for me Oh I'll place my sin 'neath that old rugged cross Where are lives are changed all because of His loss For there He exchanged that cross through His grace And gave us the tree of life in its place Yes there He exchanged that cross through His grace And He gave us the tree of life in its place Oh that old rugged cross roughly hewn from a tree Now the symbol of life is a refuge for me
