This song came to me as I was with Sarah at another Eric Bibb concert, we were sat very high up in the eaves of Cadogan Hall and I felt a sudden sense of danger. I pictured the whole place collapsing and I was trapped under all of the seats etc.
Ā
When we got home I picked up my acoustic guitar and this song (lyrics & chords) just came straight out. I havn’t edited it since and this happened around 2005.Ā
Not afraid to die
Music & Lyrics by Steve Rebus
Ā
Verse 1 G, D/F#, A Asus
On that fateful night
In Cadohan Hall
Eric Bibbās Blues filling wall to wall.
Ā
Verse 2
A big explosion
And you were scared
But I was the one trapped beneath the stairs
Ā
(Chorus) Dsus, G, D/F#, G, A
Please save yourself, before itās too late
Please save yourself, but donāt you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heartā¦..Iām not afraid to die
Ā
Verse 3
You let go of my hand
With tears on your face
The look in your eyes, as you left this place
Ā
Verse 4
I can feel the heat
Of the flames on my skin
The creak from the roof as it finally caved in
Ā
(Chorus)
Please save yourself, before itās too late
Please save yourself, but donāt you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heartā¦..Iām not afraid to die
Ā
Solo
Ā
Verse 5
Remember me
And the life we had
Share your smile and never be sad
Ā
(Chorus)
Please save yourself, before itās too late
Please save yourself, but donāt you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heartā¦..Iām not afraid to die
When youāve got the Lord in your heartā¦..donāt be afraid to die

I am not sure if this is an outpouring of my love for Sarah and how I would die for her, or if its trying to show how much inner peace I feel now I follow Jesus, maybe its both?!
