Hidden Gems: Greater Vision – “The Spirit Of Brokenness”

I normally wouldn’t do consecutive hidden gem posts, but this is part 1 of a 2 part tribute to Jason Waldroup’s tenure with Greater Vision.   This song was on Jason’s debut mainline release with Greater Vision, The Shepherds Found A Lamb.  A gorgeous ballad with verses done by Gerald Wolfe as only he can, and tight, smooth harmony on the chorus by the trio with Jason taking the melody highlight this track.  The song doesn’t have any high harmony, in fact, it tends toward the opposite end with some fairly low harmony, but it is perfect for the subdued, reverent arrangement of the song.  The arrangement really highlights the lyrics, which are incredibly strong.  This has long been one of my favorite Greater Vision tunes.  Give it a listen and make it your prayer for the day.
