A Lord is a person who has power and authority. It can have different meanings depending on the context of use.
In a religious context, The Lord or The LORD is a name referring to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, mainly by the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity).
In feudalism, a Lord (French: seigneur) has aristocratic rank and has control over a portion of land and the produce and labor of the serfs living thereon.
In the United Kingdom, the House of Lords – commonly known as "the Lords" – forms the upper house of Parliament.
God most commonly refers to the deity worshipped by followers of monotheistic and monolatrist religions, whom they believe to be the creator and ruler of the universe.
hope this clears ur doubts.

The King James Version distinguishes the names of God by the use of printer’s type. Thus, when you read in the Bible the word “God,” you know that it is translated from the Hebrew word Elohim; the words “LORD,” “GOD,” “LORD GOD,” “LORD God” are from the Hebrew word Jehovah; and the word “lord” is from the word Adonai. Each of these words, Elohim, Jehovah and Adonai, describes the character of God and of His actions toward mankind, distinguishing between the saint and the sinner.
The word Elohim, which is translated as “God,” is found more than twenty-three hundred times in Scripture. Yet this is not a personal name of God, but it is God’s official title — what He is, God! — Elohim! The word Elohim is not only used for God, but for men (“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” — Ps. 82:6 with John 10:34, 35) and for idols (“Thou shalt make thee no molten gods” — Ex. 34:17). It is the title of God just as the word “president” is the title of an office. The President is the official title of the chief executive of the United States. It is not his name, but his title. And likewise, there are many kinds of presidents: of companies, missionary societies, etc. God’s official name is Elohim — His office.
Remember, the words GOD and LORD (all capital letters) in the King James version are best translated Jehovah. Jehovah is the personal name of God. It is that Name which is above every other name. The meaning of the word is Redeemer. Every time it is used in the Scriptures it is connected with deliverance by God: “And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out and the LORD [Jehovah] helped him; and God moved them to depart from him” (II Chron. 18:31).

God is Almighty God Jehovah [ Jesus' father in heaven.]
Lord is the TITLE given to Jesus.
LORD...all capitals...is the TITLE given to Jehovah god when his NAME [ Exodus 6;3] was wrongfully removed from the King James translation.
Thios has caused great confusion in the understanding of the Bible. With people trying to distinguish between Lord and
LORD.
This is the scripture from the New World translation, in which Jehovah's NAME has been restored;
(Psalm 110:1) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
This is Jehovah God speaking to Jesus [ lord]
Here is the direct scripture from the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION; BIBLEGATEWAY.COM
1 The LORD says to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."
This does not make much sense.
From the K.J.V.;
1 The LORD said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
again, confusing. And disrespectful.

Both "Lord" and "God" are titles.
Lord can reffer just about anyone that is in a superior possition.
God means "mighty one" and is applied to The almighty God, and many other gods as weel as men in some instances in the Bible

Most people refer to Jesus as Lord, and to God as God, but there is no difference because they are both the same deity.

The same.
Lord = God
lord = a king, head of a household, etc.
God = God
god = a king, sons of God
Son of God = Jesus Christ
sons of God = kings, you and me
You will note these differences in formal equivalence translations of the Bible.
