Elijah Oyelade's 'Calvary (Not In Vain)' is a worship song that reflects on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. The lyrics draw from Isaiah 53, describing how Christ was wounded for humanity's transgressions and that by His stripes believers are healed. The song declares that Calvary was not in vain, emphasizing the redemptive power of the cross. It also calls for the flow of God's mercy, compassion, healing, and Holy Spirit, and encourages believers to arise as God's army to enforce His will. The repeated affirmation that Calvary will not be in vain reinforces the theme of Christ's victory and its ongoing impact.

On the old rugged cross 

Standing tall outside the city 

On the master Lord Jesus 

The expression of the Fathers' love 

He was wounded for our transgressions 

He was bruised for our iniquity 

The chastisment of our peace was up on Him 

By His stripes we are healed 

By His death we now live 


Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Not in vain 



Let the fountain of God's mercy 

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of God's compassion 

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of the living water 

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of devine healing 

Let it flow, let it flow 


Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Not in vain 


We arise as God's mighty army 

To enforce the will of the Father 

We arise as sons of The Living God 

We declare the reign of our king 


Let the fountain of God's power

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of Holy spirit

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of life of God

Let it flow, let it flow 

Let the fountain of devine revelation

Let it flow, let it flow 

River flow of God's mercy and grace 

Let it flow, let it flow 

...


Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain 

Calvary Calvary will not be in vain  

Not in vain
