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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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 Simmons, Bob Huston, Marty Smith, Chris Baker and Tata Talili) 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
Written in 1988. It was inspired by some great old hymns so I incorporated some of the lyrics from "There Is a Fountain" by William Cowper (1771), "Nothing But the Blood" by Robert Lowry (1876) and "Higher Ground" by Johnson Oatman Jr. (1898) as the verses. Performed by the AI band Grassfire.
Lyrics
Deeper take me deeper precious Lord Take me deep within the fountain flowing with the blood And I'll be higher than I've ever been before Deeper....takes me higher than I've ever been before (verse) There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins And sinners plunged beneath the flood Loose all their guilty stains (chorus) Deeper take me deeper precious Lord Take me deep within the fountain flowing with the blood And I'll be higher than I've ever been before Deeper....takes me higher than I've ever been before (verse) What can wash away my sin Nothing but the blood of Jesus What can make me whole again Nothing but the blood of Jesus (chorus) Deeper take me deeper precious Lord Take me deep within the fountain flowing with the blood And I'll be higher than I've ever been before Deeper....takes me higher than I've ever been before (verse) Lord lift me up and let me stand By faith on heaven's tableland A higher plane than I have found Lord plant my feet on higher ground (chorus) Deeper take me deeper precious Lord Take me deep within the fountain flowing with the blood And I'll be higher than I've ever been before Deeper....takes me higher than I've ever been before Take me deep within the fountain flowing with the blood And I'll be higher than I've ever been before Yeah I'll be higher than I've ever been before Cause deeper takes me higher than I've ever been before
