Out of Nowhere

 

 

I am sure you’ve heard the phrase

Out of nowhere

But where did it come from

To be now here?

 

Everything had a beginning

And must have come from somewhere,

So too must have time

And not out of nowhere.

 

Hence, at some time presupposes

There must have been somewhere

Or else there is nowhere

That time can be now here.

 

I know this is mind-boggling,

I know that quite well

But do not brush it off just yet,

There is more to tell.

 

The question was asked:

Where did God come from

And when I heard the response

I thought it quite dumb.

 

However, I pondered it a bit

Only to discover it is true:

That God came from nowhere

And that, my mind blew!

 

 

Out of nowhere

Because before Him, nothing was,

Before Him nothing could have existed;

Not even time could.

 

No place, no time, no thing

Could have preceded The Almighty,

He is the originator

For all that we see.

 

The I AM THAT I AM:

The Always Existing ONE,

Not a caused being or element

But before creation’s dawn. 

He is synonymous with eternity:

A concept we cannot grasp

And to figure out nowhere

Is an impossible task.

 

Somethings we can only accept

What else can we do?

Why, we experience great difficulty

With things within view.

 

‘No time’ and ‘nowhere’

Are way out of our scope,

No reference point to begin with,

There is not a hope.

 

Grappling with the invisible

Is complex enough

Far less trying to wrap our minds around

More complicated stuff.

 

 

Next time you hear someone say,

“He came out of nowhere”

Just smile and to yourself say,

“Well, He’s now here.”

 

For there is only ONE

Who can come out of nowhere:

That is the I AM THAT I AM,

Thank God His Spirit is here!
