United Methodists gathered today, Tuesday, November 8, for a special Election Day Prayer service led by Indiana Area Bishop Julius C. Trimble and other United Methodist leaders from across the connection.
The prayer gathering began at the heart of Downtown Indianapolis, Roberts Park United Methodist Church on Delaware Street, and proceeded to the stairs of the Indiana Statehouse. Amid intentional prayer for our country, the church, our current season of various transitions, Bishop Trimble shared ‘When Tomorrow Comes,’ a poem he had written specifically for the occasion.
When Tomorrow Comes
The sun will rise
God will still be God
God will still be good
And we will still need GOD
When tomorrow comes
Victory will be declared
And the poor will still be with us
Fear and food deserts,
The hungry and homeless
When tomorrow comes
The questions will still remain
Where have all the prophets gone
Who speaks for the children
Who welcomes the stranger
When tomorrow comes
Will you honor the golden rule
Will you pray and pay attention
Will you make the gospel come alive
When tomorrow comes
Be real
Be present
Be still
Be hope and for Christ sake
Be the church
