Going just from the two verses Chris sings this is what I got. I think it has to do something with the "Hand of God" being a preacher.
"The hand of God lays high above me"
This might be the preacher pointing into a crowd which is above.
"The hand of God is thick and callous
Bruised and torn from stones and sticks"
This might be how a lot of preachers are old men who have these big thick bruised up hands.
"The hand of God has got a ring about the size of Texas"
A lot of preachers have big rings.
