Ask Me Lyrics - Amy Grant

I see her as a little girl 

Hiding in her room 

She takes another bath 

And she sprays her mama'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 Heaven 

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 

'Til she crawls up in her bed 

Acting quiet as a mouse 

Deep inside, she's listening 

For a creaking in the house 

But no one's left to harm her 

She's fin'ly safe and sound 

There's a peace she has 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 Heaven 

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 

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven 

Where did He go in the middle of her shame? 

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven 

She said His mercy is bringing her life again 

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven 

Where did He go in the middle of her shame? 

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven 

She said His mercy is bringing her life again
