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!
