I use "template" like this (very schematic):

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff = "upperstaff" <<
      \new Voice = "upper" {
        \uppermelody
      }
      \new Lyrics = "upperlyr" with {
        % this adds some space below:
        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2 . 0)
      } \lyricsto "upper" \upperlyrics
    >>
    %
    \new Staff = "lowerstaff" <<
      \new Voice = "lower" {
        \lowermelody
      }
      \new Lyrics = "lowerlyr" with {
        % this adds some space above:
        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0 . 2)
        alignAboveContext = "lowerstaff"
      } \lyricsto "lower" \lowerlyrics
    >>
  >>
}

You can increase all numbers, of course.

And you can manage overall parameters in \layout{}, for \context{\Lyrics},
while above are for specified Lyics only.
