Chess/Checker Gospel Album Discography mentions a song of that name being recorded:

LP*-10028 - The Hand Of God - Rev. O.M. Hoover [?]

But I dunno if it is the same song or, if so, who recorded first.

===========

TIME LIFE'S: SONGS OF INSPIRATION Contains THREE DISCS with 36 tracks, Disc 1 including:

7. The Hand Of God Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots with The Ray Charles


But again-- same song?? Recorded when? From what source? I dunno.

Sorry about the all-caps-- pasted from Ebay.
