Lyrics of Who Is The Greatest (The Poem) - Live by Joyous Celebration
verse
Since the beginning of time
The greatest question has always been
Who amongst us is the greatest?
verse
Is it the great King Shaka Zulu?
Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela
Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa
Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey
Leaders and their titles
Who amounts them is the greatest?
verse
In the world of sports
Tell me, who is the greatest?
Who can bend it like Beckham?
Who's got more skill than Ronaldo?
Does he have more talent than Lionel Messi?
Dare I compare them to Pelé
Will they be unforgettable like Maradona?
verse
Who was greater?
Amabhakabhaka, ezimnyama ngenkani, Orlando Pireates
Or is it the glamour boys, Kaizer Chiefs?
Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United
And we can never be united when having to decide who amongst us is the greatest
verse
Who can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
Better than Muhammad Ali?
Is it Floyd Mayweather?
And I'm wondering wether you still remember the late Baby Jake Matlala
verse
In music, who is the greatest?
Who's got better dance moves than the king of pop, Michael Jackson?
Who's more legendary than Tupac Shakur?
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey
Let us not forget, Brenda Fassie
verse
Honey, who's our greatest local trendsetter?
Can you get an international breakthrough better than mister funny guy, Trevor Noah?
Could you fill up the Dome like Cassper Nyovest?
And let us be honest
You can never be South Africa's first black Idol
'Cause Khaya Mthethwa has done that
Charlize Theron had made South Africa proud
And so did Ladysmith Black Mambazo
And before I go, it's been 20 years and they are still standing
It's MTN Joyous Celebration
verse
But allow me to make this brief introduction
Of a man who is the greatest
Listen as to why He is the greatest
verse
In biology, He was born of an extraordinary birth
In physics, He defied the law of physics when He walked on water
In mathematics, who can be greater? Because without a calculator
He was able to count the number of hairs of 7.394 billion people's heads
And He stored that information in the school of IT
With no megabits and no memory
verse
In chemistry, He turned water into wine
In hospitality, He feed five thousand people with just five loaves of bread and two fish
In geography, the winds and the sea obey Him
He is the greatest man in all history
verse
In public speaking, He spoke to thousands that heard his voice
Even though He had no microphone
And here it goes in the school of law, He is our advocate
In English, He is the great I am
In physical science, He's the great mighty warrior
Strong in battle
Jehovah is His name
verse
In science, He's the bright and morning star
He shines brighter than any Hollywood star
He's richer than Bill Gates
And only through Him can we enter heaven's gates
He's more influential than Oprah
Far famous than the Kardashians
And even without a Grammy, this man is still legendary
VaShawn Mitchell said it better, that there is nobody greater
verse
Demons can't stand Him
The devil could not stop Him
Death could not kill Him
The grave could not withhold Him
With nails in His hands
A crown of thrones on His head
Only He was willing to die for a sinner like me
verse
My mind may not fathom Him
But my heart adores Him
My hands tonight will be lifted to Him
My tough will sing Him praise
His name is I will raise
I will boldly declare
Ladies and gentlemen
Jesus Christ is the greatest
Writer(s): Lindelani Mkhize, Siyanqoba Mthethwa, Nokwethemba Mchunu
