Song Meaning
Caitie Hurst opens "All The Things" admitting fear plainly — "all up in my head, fear's got a hold of me, pretend I'm not scared of who You're calling me to be" — naming the gap between outward pretense and inward doubt before any resolution arrives. "Must have someone else that You were thinking of" states the specific insecurity of feeling miscast for a purpose.
"You don't make mistakes, I can be myself" answers that insecurity directly rather than offering generic encouragement, tying identity to the reliability of the one who assigned it. "Every step of faith, take 'em one by one" breaks an overwhelming calling down into a manageable, sequential pace.
"I don't gotta be run by insecurity" names the same fear from the opening line and explicitly refuses to let it drive. "So I won't back down when I want to run, if You're with me in the battle, it's already won" reframes hesitation as a real temptation still present even after growth, and closes the tension between fear and calling with a settled outcome rather than an ongoing struggle.

All up in my head, fear's got a hold of me
Pretend I'm not scared of who You're calling me to be
Truth is I don't think that I am good enough
Must have someone else that You were thinking of
Who am I to be a part of Your plan?
Then You told me who I am
[Chorus]
When You call my name You don't want someone else
You don't make mistakes, I can be myself
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done
[Verse 2]
I don't gotta be run by insecurity
Everything I need You already gave to me
I don't ever have to do this on my own
With You with me I can never be alone
I just need a little faith to take a step
Then I'll watch You do the rest
[Chorus]
When You call my name You don't want someone else
You don't make mistakes, I can be myself
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done
So I won't back down when I want to run
If You're with me in the battle, it's already won
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done
[Bridge]
Everything I need You already gave to me
You're everything I need, everything I need
[Chorus]
When You call my name You don't want someone else
(You don't want someone else)
You don't make mistakes, I can be myself (I can be myself)
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done (I thought could not be done)
So I won't back down when I want to run
If You're with me in the battle, it's already won
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Every step of faith, take 'em one by one
As You're doing all the things I thought could not be done
