“ONE FLESH” symbolizes God’s perfect union between a man and a woman: the union in marriage. A union in spirit, mind and body. The fruits of that union are: love, peace, hope, harmony, unity, equality and a common goal. In a word, it symbolizes “oneness.” And like every marriage, it is a work in progress. In an artistic sense, the oneness can be discerned in the strong, symphonic lines which define the male torso into a singular, harmonious image.

Their eyes, subtly suggested within the soft shadows, are quietly fixed upon a common yet distant point; a symbolic gesture conveying a union with a common vision and a united spirit. The woman’s body presents a comely, curved image highlighted with a long graceful neck and flowing breasts. Her strong, curving hips and her poised head – looking into the future – compliment the man from every perspective.

Strong, without being offensive, the man’s body presents smooth muscular arms, masculine shoulders and a strong back. His enlarged, powerful hands are delicately placed to hold and protect the woman. It all works to convey his gentle, caring strength.

They are equal in their relationship. And though the woman is positioned first, the man’s head is shown leading – a visual signature of the man’s headship balanced with their equality. As you study the two figures and contemplate the serenity of the two figures, you will begin to feel the oneness it portrays. In the final analysis, we all share the inner need to be united to – and complete by – our physical counterpart. - DM

“ONE FLESH”

Words & Music Copyright 2010 by David Magiera

Verse 1:
In the garden of Eden, our life on earth began;
The Father of creation, created Adam man;
Created in His image , a friend to God was he;
To fellowship in glory, for all eternity;
Not good for man to be alone, a helpmate was His plan; And from his rib created, a woman for a man.

CHORUS
One flesh, with two hearts; One life in His love;
One hope, from the start; A love to last forever;
One flesh, yours to live; One heart, yours to give;
One love, yours to share; A love that’s made in heaven.

Verse 2:
Love as He has loved you, and live your life as one;
Keep your steps together, your eyes upon His Son;
What God has joined together, let no man take apart;
Walk your life together, embrace each other’s heart;
Not good for man to be alone, a helpmate was His plan;
And from his rib created, a woman for a man.

Verse 3:
Beloved He is ready, to give you your delight;
A love that lasts forever, upon your wedding night;
Through giving and receiving, and walking in the light;
He’ll love you through each other, by living in your life;
Not good for man to be alone, a helpmate was His plan;
That’s why He created, a woman for a man.

CHORUS
