  • The words (sung in the original Greek) are spoken by Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. English translation: "Split the wood, I am there. Turn over a stone, and you will find me." Other words and dervish zikrs in Arabic and in Hebrew are added by the singer, including the famous "Asher Ehye Asher" meaning "I am what I am" , the words of God to Moses.

  • ooops! I meant to say "Ehye Asher Ehye" ... according to one theory, these are the mysterious "three words" which Jesus whispered to Thomas in Logion 13

  • Wow how thrilling!

  • I might add that I'm also very inspired by the Gospel of Thomas--- by far the most profound (and also the most historically authentic) of the gospels in my opinion. I am the composer of this piece, but Catherine added a lot of ecstatic improvisation that surprised and delighted me. We're planning to record a much fuller version of it someday.

  • Thank you for your appreciation. Please read down to the earliest 2 comments, and you'll find the translation. Joseph Rowe

  • Any idea what the rest of the words are? This is a fantastic song. I have been devoted to the Gospel of Thomas as my scripture for years.

  • This music has reawakens my spirit!

  • Creation spirituality expressed in musical ecstasy. Wow.

  • WOW! THIS IS AMAZING!

  • This is a fantastic video! I love the Gospel of Thomas. What a powerful way to convey it!

  • This is a precious treasure and food for the soul. Thank you for posting.
