Lyrics
You Paved Over Eden
Blessings come and blessings go, and many pray but never know
What the Lord has blessed them with, they’ve overlooked and let it sit
They turned down God’s best and settled for something less
Now answers come yes God provides, but here we stand with blinded eyes
With preconceived expectancy, what God provides don’t seem right you see
So we turn down God’s best, and settle for something less
Don’t it always seem to go, we seldom know what we got till its gone
We pave over Eden and make it an empty lot
Don’t it always seem to go, we seldom know what we got till its gone
We paved over Eden and made it an empty lot
Now think about those days gone by, when God gave you his best design
But you had plans and better ways, and now you see the price you paid
You turned down God’s best and settled for something less
