Please Be My Strength

THANK YOU Jessica! I have never heard of Gungor and she threw this song my way and WOW! I am loving it! I am loving his style and his songs. Gungor is worth checking out!
Gungor's explanation of the song and its inception (see link below - worth listening to!) resonates with any honest believer I know. Faith isn't always easy, it isn't for the faint of heart, it isn't for cowards. Faith is for the brave, for those who know God is their only true source of strength. As this song says, we cannot create nor sustain true strength, that is from God and he alone. Where do we plant our faith? In the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. When life comes at us the only place that we will have safety is within the shelter of Jesus.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
