All These Things That I've Done

“All These Things That I’ve Done” has a sincere and rather bold meaning—for me. I hear this song as the artist’s take on calling for God.

The song sings about not growing up past his childish ways. The video shows him cheating on his wife, and all around falling into sin. He cannot get himself out of these temptations. He is calling on God to help him out.

Everyone’s favorite part is no different. “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier.” This is symbolizing that he is a person, and he has a soul. But he is not strong enough, like a soldier of God, to avoid and overcome the things he falls into. He needs help, and he is not strong enough to do it himself. It takes a strong man to call on God’s help.

This is a great song, and even more inspiring to hear it like this. It is a reminder to me that we cannot overcome this world on our own. We need God helping us along and through it.

“Psalm 18:2-The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
