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.
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.
Not afraid to die
Music & Lyrics by Steve Rebus
Verse 1 G, D/F#, A Asus
On that fateful night
In Cadohan Hall
Eric Bibb’s Blues filling wall to wall.
Verse 2
A big explosion
And you were scared
But I was the one trapped beneath the stairs
(Chorus) Dsus, G, D/F#, G, A
Please save yourself, before it’s too late
Please save yourself, but don’t you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heart…..I’m not afraid to die
Verse 3
You let go of my hand
With tears on your face
The look in your eyes, as you left this place
Verse 4
I can feel the heat
Of the flames on my skin
The creak from the roof as it finally caved in
(Chorus)
Please save yourself, before it’s too late
Please save yourself, but don’t you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heart…..I’m not afraid to die
Solo
Verse 5
Remember me
And the life we had
Share your smile and never be sad
(Chorus)
Please save yourself, before it’s too late
Please save yourself, but don’t you cry
Because I got the Lord in my heart…..I’m not afraid to die
When you’ve got the Lord in your heart…..don’t 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?!
