There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately]."- Acts 2:2-4 (AMP). During the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the fire fell as well.  </div></div><input type="checkbox" id=toggle2><label for=toggle2><span class="annotate-lyric"> Supernatural<br/>Boost my confidence<br/>My cocaina <br/></span></label><div id=content2 class="annotate-explain"><div class="annotate-text"> Omah Lay refers to his love for his woman as supernatural.
