Ask Me Lyrics

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.
