It begins with:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
This theme is continued in the Preamble to the Constitution: "...secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
Of all the "rights" listed in the Preamble (justice, tranquility, welfare, and liberty), only liberty (the second of three mentioned in the Declaration of Independence) is called a Blessing, which means "God's favor and protection."

I know. But that’s from the Declaration of Independence.
You wrote: “A right is RECOGNIZED by the Constitution as being granted by God.”
That a right is granted by God may be inferred from or implied by the Constitution, particularly when taken in context with other writings of the time. That inference or implication may be taken as recognition. But the recognition is not explicitly stated, explicitly recognized as I take from your words. The name of God is not in the US Constitution, unless my word search function is defective.
