Join the Heaven Party

Since I was probably like 7 years old I have always written poetry, I absolutely loved it and was obsessed with reading it too! I’ve filled journals upon journals with silly rhymes and carefully placed vocab and it’s always been a big piece of who I am, throughout high school I even loved to read my poetry at my school’s coffee houses but for some reason this past year I’ve stopped writing poetry all of a sudden.  I didn’t even realize until a couple of months ago, one day i was sitting there journaling and God just started talking to me about writing poetry for Him again. I kind of ignored it and brushed it off until about 3 weeks ago. During a feedback session, Moriah told me that while she was praying for me God just said the words “Join the Heaven Party”. I started to ask Him what He meant by that and He told me that He wanted me to write a poem called “Join the Heaven Party”. Oh boy I had no idea what He wanted me to write about so again I put it off and kind of ignored it until that weekend when I was sitting on Saturday and asking God what He wanted me to do with my time and He was like “Alyssa, you already know what I’m going to say, go write the poem!” So I finally got over myself and went out under my favorite tree and He gave me this poem! God really put it on my heart to share this with you! So for whoever needs to hear it: 

 

Join the Heaven Party

 

Come from the shadows

From the shadow of Shame

Lay down your burdens 

And throw off the blame 

 

Bring guilt and bring darkness

Come as you are

For the reach of redemption,

Daughter, you are never too far

 

There’s no sin that’s too dirty

Or wall that’s too high

No price to expensive 

That my love can’t buy 

 

So daughter stand up 

Rise to your feet

I have not made you broken 

In me you’re complete 

 

Take up your mat

 and learn how to walk 

You are healed in my name 

You are one of my flock 

 

You stand in my freedom 

You walk in my might 

For my yoke is easy 

And my burden is light 

 

Lift your eyes to the heavens 

I have made you to dance 

Just take one step, daughter 

Just give it a chance

 

So let go of the world 

Let go of the past 

For you know that no earthly comfort

Or pain were made to last 

 

Lift your hands in surrender 

Turn your face from shame 

And come join the party 

That I have thrown in your name!
