(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, i must make amends
The Lord's my shepherd,
I'll not want,
He makes me down to lie,
In pastures green,
He leadeth me,
The quiet waters by.
The Lord's My Shepherd - hymn
The time is all gone that had use for a man
Who supported his Lordship, protecting his land,
Who in times of unrest would have died for his Lord.
Now the soldiers of England
Have taken his broadsword.
--"Fire in the Glen," Andy M. Stewart
[In the previous comment, "Lord" should probably have been "lord," lowercase, because it is referring to an earthly authority, not a deity. Sorry for any confusion.]
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
A Day in the Life - The Beatles
I will never give you up, Lord
not in a million years
'cause you have put
this love inside my heart...
---Amy Grant
Dance, dance wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance said he
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
I'll lead you all in the dance said he
A weird kinda traditional vaguely religious song
Oh the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I love here on earth
All the beauty I see
He has given to me
And his giving is gentle as silence
Gentle as Silence - Catholic hymn, not sure who wrote it.
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Enter Sandman - Metallica
King of Kings! And Lord of Lords!
And He shall reign forever and ever.
--Handel's Messiah, the "Hallelujah Chorus."
Metallica didn't write those words, for sure.
My sweet lord, my sweet lord
I really wanna see you, I really wanna be with you
George Harrison, who did write those words, but had accidentally stolen the music from an old girl-group song called "He's So Fine."
And before I'll be a slave
I'll be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord
And be free
"Oh, Freedom" by Odetta (which I just heard Joan Baez doing)
Listening to a Joan Baez documentary reminds me of ballads, and of some I didn't learn from her.
Oh is this here Lord Bateman's castle
And is his lordship there within
"Lord Bateman" (traditional)
I see by the ring that's on your hand
That you're Lord Daniel's wife, wife
That you're Lord Daniel's wife
Matty Groves
Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
#1 in The Baptist Hymnal when I was a kid
If you are three friars of France (oooh! Can go play it there!
If you are three friars of France
It's you that I wishéd to see
But if you are three English lords
You shall hang on the gallows tree
"Queen Eleanor's Confession," traditional
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
--Hymn
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me.
--"Take it Easy"
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen
Oh lordie,
pick a bail o'cotton
Oh lordie
pick a bail a day
(Had not thought of that for a long, long time)
What care I for my house and land?
What care I for my money, o?
What care I for my new-wedded lord?
I'm gone with the wraggle-taggle gypsies, o.
"The Wraggle-Taggle Gypsies" I learned it from the King's Singers, but it's old and English.
I know a different version of the "pick a bail of cotton."
[Chorus:]
Jump down, turn around,
Pick a bail of cotton now.
Jump down, turn around,
Pick a bail a day.
[Here is the only verse I remember, although there are several:]
The Lord will do his reapin'
On the last day of time.
If you ain't picked, of all the seeds He's planted,
He'll be leavin' you behind.
Kyrie eleison, Lord have mercy.
Christe eleison, Christ have mercy.
Kyrie eleison, Lord have mercy.
--Part of traditional Christian liturgy
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.
--"Battle Hymn of the Republic."
