Song writing. Lyrics or music first?

Wondering how you or you and your group approach song writing. In my experience it has always been music first. Usually comes down to a jam session then arrangement then lyrics. In a few cases I have sat down and the songs have been written so all I've had to do is come up with the drum parts. Wondering how other musicians approach the process. Thanks in advance for your reply.
 
Most singer/songwriter guys I know have journal/diary type books full of lyrics ... maybe full songs ... maybe just a chorus idea ... maybe just a line ... maybe just two words ...​
And the music is written separate ...​
And at some point, the two come together.​
