its always good to develope your chord progression first, then develop a melody. Once you have both of these then you will want to plan your song accordingly, such as any changes in key, tempo, or whatever. After you've done this, then come up with lyrics.

This may not be what works for you, but it works for me. this way once you're comming to the lyrics u have a framework to work the lyrics into, and other things dont need to change to fit the lyrics.
