[Verse 1] I see her as a little girl hiding in her room She takes another bath and she sprays her mommas perfume To try to wipe away the scent he left behind But it haunts her mind [Verse 2] You see shes his little rag, nothing more than just a waif And hes mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid Maybe shell find a way through these awful years to disappear [Hook] Ask me if I think theres a God up in the heavens Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask me if I think theres a God up in the heavens I see no mercy and no one down heres naming names Nobodys naming names [Verse 3] Now shes looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face No more frightened little girl, like shes gone without a trace Still she leaves the light burning in the hall Its hard to sleep at all [Verse 4] Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse Deep inside shes listening for a creaking in the house But noones left to harm her, shes finally safe and sound Theres a peace shes found [Hook] Ask her how she knows theres a God up in the heavens Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask her how she knows theres a God up in the heavens She said His mercy is bringing her life again Ask me how I know theres a God up in the heavens 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 again Shes coming to life again [Bridge] Hes in the middle of her pain In the middle of her shame Mercy brings life Hes in the middle Mercy in the middle [Hook] So ask me how I know Ask me how I know, yeah Ask 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? [Outro] Ask me Ask me Ask me how I know How do you know? Theres a God up in the heavens Ask me how I know theres a God up in the heavens
