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.
Band Members
Taylor Johnson
Johnson started as a guitarist for Todd Agnew. After Agnew moved to Memphis, Tennessee, Taylor stayed behind and played the guitar for the Robbie Seay Band. 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.

Saved By Grace
Shane & Shane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get ready to sent the years
Of guilt and shame away
The years of failing
The years of nailing up yourself
To a cross you can't bear
That's why He was there
When He washed all our sins away
What a beautiful day
By grace you have been saved
By grace you have been saved
By grace you have been saved
By grace through faith
Through faith
Even the faith I have to sing
Halle, halle, hallelujah to my King
It's freely given
That I might not boast in myself but Him
Can't sing it enough
Say it enough
Play it enough
When will I get it
I can't earn it
And no I don't deserve
Can't say it enough
The first stanza of the song "Saved By Grace" by Shane & Shane talks about singing a gospel song that reminds us of the salvation we have through grace. The song encourages us to let go of guilt and shame and the burden of trying to be perfect, because Jesus has already taken the burden of sin upon Himself on the cross. We are reminded that we cannot bear this burden on our own, and that is precisely why Jesus came to save us. The lyrics, "That's why He was there," are a powerful reminder of the reason for His sacrifice.
The next stanza of the song speaks to the beauty of the day when our sins were washed away, and we were saved by grace. The repetition of the phrase "by grace you have been saved" emphasizes the significance of this moment when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior. We are saved by grace and not by our own efforts or good deeds, and this truth should prompt us to respond with faith, gratitude, and praise. Ultimately, the song reflects the joy and freedom we experience when we receive the gift of salvation.
Overall, the song "Saved By Grace" is a powerful reminder of the beauty of grace and the freedom that comes from relying on Jesus Christ. It's a powerful message that we can't earn our salvation but can receive it through faith.
