Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...various styles and genres... One message!

"firesong music ministry" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons.

Thanks for stopping by. I began writing songs in 1977 and formed my first band in 1978. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family, friends and others, have done over past 50 years. There are over 800 original unpublished songs and recordings presented in demo form on this site.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 groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs. Those include Fresh Fire, The Guys, Sisters in Arms, Fremont Street, Simonzoon, Crossfire, Damascus Road, Grassfire, etc. Each in their own unique genre and delivery.

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 lives in west-central Illinois with his wife M'Len))

Story behind the song

One of the signs of the times will be...the closer He gets...the more we need Him.

Lyrics

There is darkness all around us and it seems it's drawing near
A world that would surround us with its anger and its fear
We read it in the paper and we watch it on TV
How our children die in anger in a world that just can't see

In these times...we could use a helping hand
In this world where its so hard to understand
We could use someone to guide us
We could really use a friend
We could use a helping hand...in these times

When we stop and look around us and we see this mess we've made 
Well a hopelessness confounds us and our hearts are so afraid
Well it seems there are no answers to these failings of the heart
We are prone to sinful cancers that keep tearing us apart

In these times...we could use a helping hand
In this world where its so hard to understand
We could use someone to guide us
We could really use a friend
We could use a helping hand...in these times

Someone just like Jesus who will hear us when we pray
Someone who will lead us and help us find the Way

In these times...we could use His helping hand
In this world He's the one who understands
We could use the Lord to guide us
We could really use a friend
We could use His helping hand...in these times

Yeah we could use a helping hand...in these times
We could really use a hand...in these times
