As things usually go when surfing the internet — I find myself going from one crest of a wave to another — and sometimes I come across a real gem.
Tonight I was reminded of the Keith Green classic Your Love Broke Through — a beautiful song about coming to the end of ourselves and finally seeing God's love — and did a search for it on YouTube.
I listened to several other versions and happened upon one that quite literally brought a smile to my face.
A music only video - it's description says it's by the "girlband" Decibelle — and was produced recently by Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Armenia.
The song was written by Keith Green, Randy
Stonehill and Todd Fishkind around 1977— and was recorded individually by Green, Phil Keaggy, Stonehill, and others at that time — and many other artists have covered it since then.

This version by Decibelle is superbly arranged and performed — and sung sweetly and beautifully by lead vocalist, Mariam Mirzoyan.
I noticed that Keith Green's widow Melody Green commented on the video — and wonder if that means she had some kind of hand in approving the song's use or perhaps more.
The lyrics are below the video.

I hope you are Blessed by it too!
Your Love Broke Through - Lyrics
Like a foolish dreamer trying to build a highway to the sky,
All my hopes would come tumbling down,
And I never knew just why,
Until today, when You pulled away the clouds,
That hung like curtains on my eyes,
Well I've been blind all these wasted years,
And I thought I was so wise,
But then You took me by surprise,
Like waking up from the longest dream,
How real it seemed,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
That blinded me,
Until Your Love broke through
Until Your Love broke through
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part,
And with one touch,
You just rolled away,
The stone that held my heart,
And now I see that the answer was as easy
As just asking You in,
And I am so sure I could never doubt,
Your gentle touch again,
It's like the power of the wind,
Like waking up from the longest dream,
How real it seemed,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
That blinded me,
Until Your Love, your love broke through,
Like waking up from the longest dream,
Until Your Love, your love broke through,
Like waking up from the longest dream,
How real it seemed,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
Until Your Love broke through,
I've been lost in a fantasy,
That blinded me,
Until Your Love, your love broke through,
Until Your Love, your love broke through,
Thanks so much for stopping by!
May God Richly Bless you!
Jesus is LORD!
Seek Him!
