Ask Me lyrics

by Amy Grant and Tom Hemby
Sung by Amy Grant

I see her as a little girl hiding in her room
She takes another bath and she sprays her momma`s perfume
To try to wipe away the scent he left behind
But it haunts her mind.

You see she`s his little rag, nothing more than just a waif
And he`s mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid
Maybe she`ll find a way through these awful years to disappear.

Ask me if I think there`s a God up in the heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me if I think there`s a God up in the heavens
I see no mercy and no one down here`s naming names
Nobody`s naming names.

Now she`s looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face
No more frightened little girl, like she`s gone without a trace
Still she leaves the light burning in the hall
It`s hard to sleep at all.

Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse
Deep inside she`s listening for a creaking in the house
But noone`s left to harm her, she`s finally safe and sound
There`s a peace she`s found.

Ask her how she knows there`s a God up in the heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask her how she knows there`s a God up in the heavens
She said His mercy is bringing her life again.

Ask me how I know there`s a God up in the heaven
(How do you know?)
Where did He go in the middle of her shame
(Where did He go?)
Ask me how I know there`s a God up in the heavens
(How do you know?)
She said his mercy is bringing her life again
She`s coming to life again.

He`s in the middle of her pain
In the middle of her shame
Mercy brings life
He`s in the middle
Mercy in the middle.

So ask me how I know
Ask me how I know, yeah
Ask me how I know there`s a God up in the heaven
(How do you know?)
Ask me how I know there`s a God up in the heavens
(How do you know?)
Yeah, ask me how I know
(How do you know?)
Ask me
Ask me
Ask me how I know
(How do you know?)
There`s a God up in the heavens
Ask me how I know there`s a God up in the heavens.
