Working for the Weakened
Parody of "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy
(2 Corinthians 12:5-10; Isaiah 40:28-31, 42:3; James 3:2, Joel 3:10)

Everyone's watching – they see what you’ve been through
Yeah, you've been broken – that's true
Everyone stumbles – when you fall down you find
Second Corinthians 12:10 and 9 --10 and 9

And the Lord, He works in all our weakness
And the Lord, He wants us to know that
Everybody's growin' strong who seeks Him
And the Lord redeems their circumstance

You wanna be someone smart?
You'd better soften your heart
You wanna be in control?
C'mon, baby, let go!

Everyone look in Isaiah 42
He'll never break you if you're bruised
If your wick's smolderin' – He won't snuff it out
Just keep on waitin' and don't get proud

And the Lord, He works in all our weakness
Listen, buddy, once I didn't know that
Everybody showin' off can't please Him
Everybody needs to check their stance
CHORUS

You wanna be someone smart?
You'd better soften your heart
You wanna be in control?
C'mon, baby, let go!
You wanna be someone smart?
You'd better soften your heart
You wanna be in control?
C'mon, baby, let go!

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
