And I think it was "works" originally. Where is the good Father when you need him?

But I don't know where it comes from. I agree that it's parbly the bible, but where in it, Heaven (and, also certainly, el Padre) only knows!

That's (funnily enough) why I was specific about who I was agreeing with! And the KJV doesn't have the expression in any form, so maybe it wasn't the bible after all.

It's not the same term that Davego was talking about.
