Nope.  If it goes back to the command zone, it's no longer in Exile.  Since Godsend looks for card linked to it that are in Exile, and the commander isn't there, nothing is preventing it from being cast.  The only way you could get that to work is to exile another copy of that commander that's in the 99 of someone else's deck, which is pretty awkward.  It also means that you can use cards like {Pull from Eternity} and {Riftsweeper} to actually nullify Godsend's ability by nabbing cards from Exile.
