This song is about a girlfriend of mine. If you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual abuse, please don't be afraid to seek help. The Sexual Abuse Helpline is open 24 hours a day, and someone who cares is waiting for your call...(800)4A-CHILD

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.
