A Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of
Cheryl L. Stedman Born - July 6, 1961 Died - December 23, 2020
Some Days
They tell me life’s a journey That will take me many years
Some days are filled with laughter And some days are filled with tears
Some days I think my heart will break
That I can’t persevere Some days I have to don a mask
And hide ‘neath its veneer
Some days I turn and look for you With thoughts I’d like to share
Some days I just can’t understand The reason you’re not there
Some days the sadness leaves me
And my smile will reappear Some days I close my eyes because
Your memory is so clear
Some days I struggle to go on Just wishing you were near
Most days I spend in gratitude That you were ever here

We believe there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and we know that in everything God works for good with those who love God, who are called according to God’s purpose. We are sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our lord. Amen.
PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING AND INTERCESSION THE LORD’S PRAYER (Debts)
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.

HYMN “How Great Thou Art”
BENEDICTION RECESSIONAL “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” Arranged by David Stedman
How Great Thou Art Verse 1
O Lord my God When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r thru'out The universe displayed
Chorus Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art How great Thou art
Verse 3 And when I think That God His Son not sparing Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in That on the cross My burden gladly bearing He bled and died To take away my sin
Verse 4 When Christ shall come With shout of acclamation And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow In humble adoration And there proclaim My God how great Thou art
