Original Cast Of His Story The Musical Lyrics

"The Greatest"
(performed by Black Gryph0n, Ali Louis Bourzgui, Jess Da Rosa & Jamal Moore)
(from "His Story The Musical" soundtrack)


[PETER:]
Who would you say is the greatest?
And Jesus doesn't count

[MISS MAGDALENE:]
Wow!
Way to ruin the moment, Peter
Do we have to do this right now?

[ANDREW:]
I wanna play, let's do this
From the greatest to the worst

[PETER:]
Well I'd say the greatest is, you know
Who followed Him first

[ANDREW:]
Peter "you of little faith" remember?
Get that out of your head

[PETER:]
Well, excuse me Andrew
I'm not the one who thought
He was talking about bread

[ANDREW:]
What?

[PETER:]
The leaven of the Pharisees

[ANDREW:]
Do you have to bring that up again?

[PETER:]
Yes I do, Andrew

[ANDREW:]
Any normal person wouldn't understand

[PETER:]
So what are you saying?
Are you saying that you're normal then?

[ANDREW:]
Yes!

[PETER:]
Then that settles it
You're a five and I'm a ten, ha!

[JESUS:]
You all need to catch up
What do you say we grab a rest
And something to eat

[PETER:]
Well, I know that Andrew's hungry

[ANDREW:]
Peter shut up

[MISS MAGDALENE:]
Sounds good to me!

[JESUS:]
What was it you were arguing about
Back there on the road?

[PETER:]
Arguing about? Wha-pshh oh
I don't know

[JESUS:]
Wow Peter, ok
I'm gonna let this one go
But everyone sit down while I tell you
The greatest thing I know

We all long to be looked up to
Truth is you've come so far
We wanna be respected, honored and loved
But guys, you already are

I've come from a place
Where it's a different way of worth
Get to the back of the line because
The last is first

If you wanna be the greatest
Wash someone's feet

[PETER:]
Ew!

[JESUS:]
I know it seems kinda crazy
But you said you wanted to follow Me

[MISS MAGDALENE:]
True!

[JESUS:]
If you wanna be the greatest
Give all you have to the poor
And here's another love each other

[ANDREW:]
Is there more?

[JESUS:]
There's so much more

So like a little child
Come to Me and I'll teach you to be
The greatest
