Hi ther Mr. Jackson, I love strumming these chords; music comes to my ears, but when writing a song should the lyrics come first?

Wow …. I truly believe that’s a chicken/egg decision and I’m sure each song writer has his/her own method … for me it would probably be a lyrical idea. But if you have an idea for a story in words … then play around with some chords and see if a pleasing melody pops into your head.
