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
While reviewing 15 years worth of notes about charity (love, in the New Testament), some of the points and zingers I'd forgotten about became important again ... enough to put together a song. There is a great simplifying of life when we understand what God really wants from us, and the benefits we will reap if we obey.
Lyrics
INTRO When you love like Jesus does You step across a righteous line. v1. (it's all about wanting to help people) A. 1. Want to be more perfect? 2. It's not really hard to do 3. When you deal with people 4. Match the love Jesus has for you B. 1. Want the secret to living? 3. To always having God's best? 3. You supply the will to love 4. and God supplies the rest. CHORUS When you love like Jesus does You step across a righteous line. You become the... Right person at the right place Doing the right thing at the right time. v.2 (can't be manipulated or intimidated) A. 1. Want to be more stable... 2. Not so easily pushed around? 3. Match the love Jesus has for you 4. and that will fasten you down. B. 1. Love is the only force on earth 2. that cannot be dominated 3. When you're active in God's love 4. you can not be ... manipulated. CHORUS coda bridge 1. When you're active in God's love 2. You are living your life ... perfectly The right person at the right place Doing the right thing at the right time.
