Hand of God Lyrics

Cover art for Hand of God lyrics by Soundgarden

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.
