----------

Written by [Barry](/wiki/Barry_Gibb "Barry Gibb") and [Maurice Gibb](/wiki/Maurice_Gibb "Maurice Gibb"), "The Lord" is written in the style of a [country gospel](/wiki/Country_gospel "Country gospel") track with a fast\-picked guitar introduction and a lyric looking forward to an eternity in Heaven and pledging to believe in [The Lord](/wiki/Jesus "Jesus") till death. As none of the Gibb brothers ever professed to be Christians, it would seem that here they are aping a style rather than expressing their own beliefs. The opening chord was D, the chords at first and second verse was D and A, the chords on chorus was G, D, A7, A and D. The music video for the song was taken on the film *[Cucumber Castle](/wiki/Cucumber_Castle_%28film%29 "Cucumber Castle (film)")*. "The Lord" was released as a B\-side of "Don't Forget to Remember" in August 1969, but in Canada, "[I Lay Down and Die](/wiki/I_Lay_Down_and_Die "I Lay Down and Die")" was the B\-side. On the intro, someone says a *Play you a song*.
