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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your strength is made perfect
When I am weak
And all that I cling to
I lay at Your feet
Your grace is sufficient for me
Your grace is sufficient for me
When I am weak
And all that I cling to
I lay at Your feet
Your grace is sufficient for me
Your grace is sufficient for me
Your strength is made perfect
When I am weak
All that I cling to
I lay at Your feet
Your grace is sufficient
Grace is sufficient
Grace is sufficient for me
To see the Lord
To promise land
Where in I'll sent

The song "Grace Is Sufficient" by Shane & Shane is a powerful expression of faith and trust in God's grace. The repeated refrain of "Your grace is sufficient for me" serves as a reminder to the listener of God's all-encompassing love and protection.
The verse "Your strength is made perfect when I am weak" is a direct reference to 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, where the apostle Paul writes about his own weakness and God's response: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This verse has been a source of comfort and inspiration for Christians throughout history, reminding them to trust in God's strength and not their own.
The chorus concludes with the declaration that "Grace is sufficient for me." This simple yet profound statement speaks to the heart of the Christian faith, acknowledging that we are saved not by our own efforts or merits, but purely by God's grace.
Overall, "Grace Is Sufficient" is a beautiful reflection on the depth and power of God's love, reminding us to trust in His strength and rest in His grace.
