Soloist. Songwriter/singer. ASCAP member. A NICE WITNESS FOR CHRIST There is an extensive interview of me done by Scott Crawford, at . Do not let the site name alarm you. It is an "adult-themed music and entertainment" site. It is not a porn site, and you will not get tagged for spam if you go there. Scott is a journalist of integrity, who asked pertinent and penetrating questions, then printed my answers verbatim. Both God and His son received much attention in the interview. REVIEWS: "Fancy keyboard playing is the backdrop for this positive and upbeat collection. Hackley's vocals are reminiscent of Burl Ives." Review by Brent Castillo, The Wichita Eagle, March 5, 2005. "world's wimpiest Christian rocker". Brother Russell Podcast; : INFLUENCES (a very lengthy list, ending with...) "and of course, Richard Hackley." "Yet the songs on the Worst of the Worst can be compelling in their awfulness. Songs like Richard Hackley's rabble-rousing, hackles-raising spiritual God's Backhand ("We're not talking about tennis or Ping-Pong!") "; "Richard Hackley... HUGE musical influence. And a real bad mofo live.";

Story behind the song
God doesn't give gifts that do nothing. So what do you do with that new thing inside?
Lyrics
(v.1) Going through life just body and soul. Trailing along where the world wants to go. Then God sent His Word when we were ready to hear it And filled us up with His holy spirit. So what do we do with that new thing inside? You know it's much more than just for the ride. (c.1) LYSR. He's the new boss over body and soul. LYSR. He knows so much more than your senses can know. You body and soul won't like it at first But once they accept it, they'll see why it works. LYSR, 'cause that was the job that he brought here from God. (v.2) Your spirit's voice will sound like a thought. So how do you tell what was spirit, what was not? First you've got to know your Bible real well. Check your thoughts against that and you'll learn to tell. So that's what you do with that new thing inside You knew it was more than just for the ride. (c.2) LYSR. Put him in charge. Make your body obey. LYSR. Your soul and your mind must learn a new way. Your body and soul will rebel for a while But once they accept it, all three of you will smile. LYSR, 'cause that was the job that he brought here from God. (coda) You have a body and you have a soul But your spirit knows best how to run the show. He listens to God, then tells it to you Then ALL of you knows what you must do. He rules with love. LYSR
