Aurora Video (MV)

I can't even start, there's nowhere to begin
To understand the horrible pain of this shootin'
Question after question keeps, running through your noggin
Wonderin' why God would even let this tragedy happen
Losin' some loved ones, or people that you've never met
I've heard both sides, so let me speak and pray for them

Let me begin with Alex Sullivan
What a hope in him
What little I have read, his speakin' seemed to be slim
But his heart, big and strong
Helpin' people move along
Lovin' his wife very long, but then somethin' went wrong
Went to a move on his birthday
I just can't seem to find the courage to say
To say that he was murdered in the worst way
At a young age, with much of his life to gain
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Sullivan's
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' that you'll trust in Him

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
My home town and where I grow up

Now Micayla Medek, she seemed like a joyful girl
Workin' hard, school and job, lovin' her fam and the world
What little I have read, it seemed to me like she loved Jesus'
Pointin' people to the joy He brings us
Showin' people Satan's defeated
Showin' that he's more real than Star Wars and General Grievous
Showin' that you don't have to have nice clothes, Nike Adidas
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' for the Medek's
Prayin' for ya, prayin' that God is your medic

Let's continue Jessica Ghawi, sports broadcastin' with a big passion
She'd be talkin' bout all the action, but never thought she'd be in the action
She was livin' with a smile on her face
From what I have read, it was not the only stage
Not only in front of the camera or TV screen
But off the stage and in person, no mask Halloween
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Ghawi's
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' you'll find Yahweh

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
My cry-out, let me stop for a minute

Navy Petty Officer John Larimer
A valued man, with a great character
An incredible shipmate and unique individual
He seemed to be respected by people who saw him visually
Wanted to go overseas to serve his country
And to help those who were in harm and need
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Larimer's
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' God will bring you near.

Rebecca Wingo, she was a gringo
Daughters nine and cinco, left motherless with no info
An energetic person, filled with love and life
Bringing energy up, changing tones like a fife
An Air-Force translator, travelin' overseas
Helpin' people in Hawaii, lovin' the sea breeze
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for he Wingo's
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' you'll see He's worth more than zero

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
I'm about to snap, because this horror

This one really hit me, Matthew McQuinn
Only twenty-seven, jumped in front of his girlfriend
It saved her life, but not his own
Now down here we groan, where he went is unknown
What courage from this man
Yes I have become his fan
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the McQuinn's
I'm prayin' for ya, Christ is where to begin

Air Force Staff Sargent, Jesse Childress
Hope he's in the arms now, of the one who's guiltless
Loved sports and was a nerd, military transferred
Marines to Air Force birds
Walked in the theater of the absurd
Wonder what his last words were
Wonder what he would have preferred
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Childress'
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' that God ain't your nemesis

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
My home town and where I grow up

Alexander Boik, aka AJ
Only eighteen years old, graduated from Gateway
He was about to go to college
And learn about this stuff that we people call knowledge
But instead, he was held hostage
His death must have brought many astonishment
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for ya AJ
I'm prayin' for ya, hope to see you on the Lord's day

Alexander Teves, twenty-four years old
Risking his life to save his girlfriends was more than bold
He went against human instinct, that could have saved his life
And first thought of other people, just like Jesus Christ
Had a great sense of humor, and loved superheros
The opposite of a loser, you've become my hero
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Teves'
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' you won't have madness

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
Man I cannot take any more of this

But there's a few more people
Gordon Cowden, he's now in God's cathedral
But burying your father is never ever easy
Especially when it happens so briefly
Wishing we could change the past, so that he's still breathing
But now he sees God, his body's restored completely
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Cowdens
I'm prayin' for ya, God's to who he's bowin'

Jonathan Blunk, father of two
Was about to go home, but spent his last few minutes in a place he didn't want
Had gone on three tours, spent time in the Middle Eastern war
Wanted to be a Navy Seal, but died protecting his girlfriend from horror
His daughter and his son were probably too young
To understand that their dad would never return to play and have fun
I'm prayin' for ya, I'm prayin' for the Blunks
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' God removes the junk.

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
God be with us, listen in

Veronica Moser-Sullivan
Her mother asked where she was, even with bullets in her abdomen
But no one could tell her her daughter's condition
Because her daughter passed, she was only six then
But now she sees God
When she first saw Him, she must have been in awe
How precious the gift of life is
I hope someday you trust in who the Christ is
I can't imagine losin' so young a daughter
It's crazy, along with your baby who's in heaven as well
What a dream it would have been if Veronica had an ice cream store to herself
Now forever with God she will dwell
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' for the Moser and Sullivans
I'm prayin' for ya, prayin' that you'll trust in Him

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
One more person, and his name you know of

James Holmes
Some of you shake when you hear that name called
Others are enraged, but give me a second now
Please control yourself from lifting your eyebrows
I know he might have hurt or killed somebody that you know
It may be hard to do, but pray that God will save his soul
Because he needs a Savior just like me
Jesus said that I commit murder if I get angry
So pray, pray, pray for James to be saved
And don't stop prayin' after today, that's all that I gotta say

This is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
My home town and where I grow up

Yes, this is my prayer for Aurora
My shout out and prayer for Aurora
This is my prayer for Aurora
This is my hometown and it's where I grow up
This is my prayer for Aurora
This is my hometown and it's where I grow up
