(Amy Grant & Tom Hemby)
|
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
|
|
So 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 finally 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 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 heavens
|
(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 int he heavens
