Though our Flesh Must Waste Away and Die

Though our flesh must waste away and die
Nevertheless, in our bodies, we shall see God
That which does rot and crumble to the earth will arise
Perfectly unto perfect knowledge of our guilt

The Atonement will satisfy the demands of justice
And robe the righteous with cloth of purity
Thus covering nakedness and uncleanness
To be found uncorrupt...wrapped in security

2 Nephi 9:4,7,14

4 For I know that ye have searched much, many of you, to know of things to come; wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die; nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.
7 Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement—save it should be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put on incorruption. Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man must needs have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise no more.
14 Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our guilt, and our uncleanness, and our nakedness; and the righteous shall have a perfect knowledge of their enjoyment, and their righteousness, being clothed with purity, yea, even with the robe of righteousness.
