Montell Jordan - The You In Me lyrics

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
