Shane Barnard
Christianity began to play an active role in the life of Barnard when he was in ninth grade, when he began to attend a Bible church youth group. He began leading worship soon thereafter. During his junior year as a student at Texas A&M University, Barnard began a recording career.
Prior to joining Everett, Barnard teamed up with friend Caleb Carruth to release an album. Entitled "Salvation Still Remains", it was released in limited numbers. Barnard and Carruth were rumored to have recorded the album in only two days due to the fact they had to pay for studio time themselves and wanting to make the most of it. Family and friends brought them sandwiches and drinks through out the process. Barnard and Carruth later agreed to end their partnership amicably, stating "they were just moving in different directions".
Shane married CCM singer Bethany Dillon on March 29, 2008.
Shane Everett
Everett was born in Dallas, Texas and later moved to Garland, a nearby suburb. Everett also attended Texas A&M University. After playing in a bar band, 4D2, one night Everett experienced an encounter with God which led him to Central Baptist Church, where he became a Christian. Shortly thereafter, he met Barnard, and became part of a weekly student-led praise and worship service at Texas A&M.
The band originally began with Barnard performing solo acts, but Everett increasingly played a major role in his performances. With the release of their 2003 album, entitled Carry Away, the band became officially known as Shane & Shane.

When Robbie Seay Band went on tour with Shane & Shane during David Crowder Band's "A Collision Tour", he played guitar for both, staying on with the new group. Taylor later went full time with the David Crowder Band, and is now back with Shane & Shane.

Shane & Shane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would keep me from Your magesty, reality
And Lord of Your proximity to me
And Your beckoning, oh Lord, for me to be
Holy, holy, holy as You are
Holy, holy, holy, holy
I need Your mercy, mercy, mercy
In this song, Shane & Shane express their desperation to experience the holiness of God in a personal and profound way. The opening line, "Heaven forbid familiarity Would keep me from Your majesty," acknowledges the danger of becoming too familiar with the things of God and taking them for granted. They recognize that only by keeping their hearts open and their minds focused on the reality of God's nearness can they truly experience His holiness. The refrain of "Holy, holy, holy as You are" is a direct reference to the biblical account of Isaiah's encounter with God in the temple, where he sees the Lord seated on a throne, surrounded by angels singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory" (Isaiah 6:3).
The following lines continue with a plea for mercy and grace, as the singers recognize their own unworthiness to approach such holiness. They cry out, "I need Your mercy, mercy, mercy," recognizing that only by God's grace can they hope to experience His holiness. The song ends on this note of need and dependence, yet with a sense of hopeful expectation that God will indeed meet them in their desperation.
Overall, "Holy" is a prayerful song that recognizes the need for a personal encounter with the holiness of God. It acknowledges the danger of becoming too familiar with God and the beauty of approaching Him with a heart of need and dependence.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy merciful and mighty
God in three Persons
Blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee
Who was and is and
Evermore shall be
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful men
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, love and purity
I bow before Thee, King of glory
Holy are You Lord, none beside Thee
Perfect in power, my God forever
You were and are and You will be
I bow before Thee, King of glory
Holy are You Lord, none beside Thee
Perfect in power, my God forever
You were and are and You will be
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All Thy Works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy holy holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons
Blessed Trinity
I stand before Thee, King of glory
Holy are You Lord, none beside Thee
Perfect in power, my God forever
You were and are and You will be
I stand before Thee, King of glory
Holy are You Lord, none beside Thee
Perfect in power, my God forever
You were and are and You will be
You were and are and You will be

I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen ❤❤❤❤🙏😇

Thank you for this song. I am a human traffic survivor. I can tell you there is a God. He reached out to me and miraculously saved me from a captor in a foreign country. He made a way. I blindly followed him in the night and made it home safely with 3 children in tote. I praise God everyday for seeing me worthy. Thank you Jesus for being my only friend during that time.
