Amy grant/tom hembyCopyright © 1991 age to age music, inc./edward grant, inc./puxico music (ascap), adm. by reunion music group, inc.This song is about a girlfriend of mine. if you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual abuse, please dont be afraid to seek help. the sexual abuse helpline is open 24 hours a day, andNe who cares is waiting for your call...(800)4a-childI see her as a little girl hiding in her roomShe takes another bath and she sprays her mommas perfumeTo try to wipe away the scent he left behindBut it haunts her mind.You see shes his little rag, nothing more than just a waifAnd hes mopping up his need, she is tired and afraidMaybe shell find a way through these awful years to disappear.Ask me if I think theres a God up in the heavenWhere did he go in the middle of her shame?Ask me if I think theres a God up in the heavensI see no mercy and no one down heres naming namesNobodys naming names.Now shes looking in the mirror at a lovely woman faceNo more frightened little girl, like shes gone without a traceStill she leaves the light burning in the hallIts hard to sleep at all.Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouseDeep inside shes listening for a creaking in the houseBut noones left to harm her, shes finally safe and soundTheres a peace shes found.Ask her how she knows theres a God up in the heavenWhere did he go in the middle of her shame?Ask her how she knows theres a God up in the heavensShe said his mercy is bringing her life again.Ask me how I know theres 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 theres a God up in the heavens(how do you know? )She said his mercy is bringing her life againShes coming to life again.Hes in the middle of her painIn the middle of her shameMercy brings lifeHes in the middleMercy in the middle.So ask me how I knowAsk me how I know, yeahAsk me how I know theres a God up in the heaven(how do you know? )Ask me how I know theres a God up in the heavens(how do you know? )Yeah, ask me how I know(how do you know? )Ask meAsk meAsk me how I know(how do you know? )Theres a God up in the heavensAsk me how I know theres a God up in the heavens.
