Roy Acuff - Thank God Acuff
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God
There's a road that's straight and narrow
That the saints have traveled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the martyrs that have gone
If you're grateful for their victory
And for showing us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessings
Get on your knees and pray
Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherеver you may be, thank God
Be forgiving to thе wayward
Like the Master told us to
When He said, Forgive them, Father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of living
If they could but understand
So remember they're your brothers
They need a helping hand
Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God

Biography
In 1938, Acuff moved to Nashville and within a year his band, the Smokey Mountain Boys, won a recording contract. Acuff’s vocals and Beecher (Pete) Kirby’s dobro playing and high-pitched backing vocals gave the band its distinctive sound. By 1940, the band was the Grand Ole Opry’s biggest act.
Acuff became one of the most influential country musicians of all time. Hank Williams Sr and George Jones named him as a major influencer on their music. In 1962, he became the first living performer to be inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Before his death, he was also awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Kennedy Center Honors.
If any performer embodied the sound of classic country music it was Roy Acuff, and he was a champion for traditional country values. Generations of artists, from Hank Williams to George Jones to Johnny Cash were influenced by Acuff.
