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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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

I have sometimes strayed along the way as we all do.  This song is to remind us that the Father still stands patiently waiting at the gate that leads us back home. Inspired by the story of the prodigal son.  Luke15:11-32

Lyrics

You feel that life has led you down a road 
That’s leading nowhere all the time
So you’ve turned aside from those you trust
Burned the bridges; left them all behind
Standing in the shadow of a gate that you once knew
Your Father stands with outreached arms, waiting there for you

Run now, come now, come back to the Lord
Right now, somehow life can be restored
If you come back to the Lord

Thought there was a need in you 
That only pleasure could subdue
But you found that pleasure leaves the heart to burn
And you’ve found it’s treasures less than grand
Worthless trinkets made of sand
Leaving you with bitter lessons learned
And the spirit in your heart cries out for peace that passes any doubt
And the need you have for grace is only found at home

Run now, come now, come back to the Lord
Right now, somehow life can be restored
 
Don’t trust the siren song that calls then leaves you all alone
Trust in the song of heaven’s love that’s calling you back home

Run now, come now, come back to the Lord
Right now, somehow life can be restored
So, come back to the Lord
Come back to the Lord
Come back to the Lord
