The You In Me Lyrics - Montell Jordan

VERSE 1 

I know I've spent my whole life running from you 

Even though there's been some things you needed me to do 

I did it my way and hurt you over and over again 

But you were preparing me 

To carry out your plan 

Though you said that you'd walk with me, some won't believe 

Cause the messenger you chose sings R&B 

So the man that you rescued me from is the man that they still 

And I don't know what to say 

I need you to speak for me 

CHORUS 

So Lord, this is my prayer 

Your "work in progress" humbly asks of thee 

Once your promise is fulfilled, the world will be watching anxiously 

Lord help someone to see, the YOU in ME 

Lord help just one to see, the YOU in ME 

VERSE 2 

Someone listening right now needs to hear this tonight 

Cause you're lonely and there's an emptiness you're trying to fill in your life 

Well I guarantee that my God can do it, yes He can 

His name is JESUS 

You've got to let him in, and say 

CHORUS 

Lord, this is my prayer 

Your "work in progress" humbly asks of thee (of thee, of thee) 

When your promise has been fulfilled 

And the whole world is watching anxiously 

Lord help someone to see, the YOU in ME (Oh Lord) 

Just help one to see, the YOU in ME (Please Jesus) 

If only one could see, the YOU in ME 

BISHOP EDDIE L. LONG 

I want to speak to you right now 

In the midst of your struggles, in the midst of your pain, in the midst of your 

confusion 

You wonder, "why am I here?" Glad you asked that questions 

God said, You're set apart for a special work, for His glory 

That others will see you, but not see you and see HIM 

Oh you need to hear this; you need to hear this because 

You've been listening to the wrong people 

He ordained you, and you don't need anyone else's approval 

You've come fully equipped to do what God ordained you to do 

You existed with God, even before you were formed in your mother's womb 

God knew you 

It is amazing 

You've tried everybody and everything 

Jesus says, "stop fighting God" stop fighting 

He's knocking at your heart, saying, "let me in" 

You're so special 

Let the glory of the Lord come through you, in the midst of all your confusion 

He loves you 

REPEAT CHORUS/ADLIB/END 

Lord, Lord my, my, my, my prayer 

I'm just a work in progress, but 

I'm asking you, I'm begging you... 

When you're promise has been fulfilled, and the world is watching anxiously 

Come on and help someone, Oh Lord 

I don't want nobody to see Montell, if they can't see you 

I'm talking to somebody, can I get a witness 

You gotta see past the man, in order to see the You in me
