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
Intent was to encourage the hearer to be patient with self, and with the growth process.
Lyrics
(v.1) God does not ignore the sparrow until it’s fully grown God does not ignore the flower ‘til it blossoms on its own God does not ignore a person who is not perfect yet. Growing is a part of life that we must all accept. (c.1) God will take you as you are He’ll start from there and take you far Everything was meant to grow You are no exception, so... As God leads you to the top be prepared to change a lot God will take you as you are He’ll start from there and take you far (v.2) God made growth a part of life especially for man Who can approach perfection by growing in God’s plan God will help with every step as you reach each new goal Later on you will understand why a diamond comes from coal (c.2) God will take you as you are He’ll start from there and take you far Everything was meant to grow You are no exception, so... Be prepared to take on more That’s what God made growing for God will take you as you are He’ll start from there and take you far (c.3) God will not ignore a man who does not yet quite understand Who he is or why he’s here or he should live without fear Everything was meant to grow you are no exception, so... God will take you as you are He’ll start from there and take you far.
