Amy Grant - Ask Me lyrics

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
