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
The song, and all three verses, were inspired by a biblical commentary (approx January, 2000) from Milford Bowen (now awaiting the return of Christ).
Lyrics
(spoken intro) Everyone watching the waves and the wind. Everyone hoping their ship will come in. (v.1) We don’t have to win the lottery before we can have security. God has a much more generous plan that offers more than just money ever can. (c.1) Our ship has come in through a different way Enjoy the ride it’s here to stay. Our ship has come in by Jesus Christ Enjoy the ride and the abundant life. (v.2) We don’t have to enter every sweepstakes to try and get ourselves some breaks. God has laws of prosperity and dares us all to try them and see. (c.2) Our ship has come in through the savior Enjoy the ride now we’re a joint heir. Our ship has come in it’s already here Enjoy the ride and live secure (bridge) We’re seated in the heavenlies holy and without blame We have all spiritual blessings we don’t have to play the world’s game. (c.3) Our ship has come in through a different route Enjoy the ride from here on out. Our ship has come in we are complete Enjoy the ride from your heavenly seat. (v.3) A believer doesn’t have to go on a get-rich-quick game show With Jesus Christ as his guide he’ll find his needs all get satisfied. (c.4 partial) Our ship has come in. It’s holy spirit inside, so Enjoy the ride.
