Let's talk spells.
In 5e they're a mess. You have Concentration on things that don't need them, things like Find Traps that lack a duration, and nowhere near enough rituals (or Sorcerer unique spells). And let's not get started on the blatant (and admitted) favouritism for spells like Firebal.

Detect Magic
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.
The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.

Find Traps
2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

For the duration, you sense the presence of any trap within 30 feet of you that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.
This spell merely reveals that a trap is present. You don't learn the location of each trap, but you do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you sense.

Locate Object
2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a forked twig)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object's location, as long as that object is within 1,000 feet of you. If the object is in motion, you know the direction of its movement.
The spell can locate a specific object known to you, as long as you have seen it up close--within 30 feet--at least once. Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.
This spell can't locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the object.

Duration: 1 round

You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn't understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.
Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the GM determines how the target behaves. If the target can't follow your command, the spell ends.
Approach. The target moves toward you by the shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it moves within 5 feet of you.
Drop. The target drops whatever it is holding and then ends its turn.
Flee. The target spends its turn moving away from you by the fastest available means.
Grovel. The target falls prone and then ends its turn.

Duration: Concentration up to 10 minutes

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.
The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them.

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small silver mirror)
Duration: 1 minute

You ward a creature within range against attack. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded creature with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. This spell doesn't protect the warded creature from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.
If the warded creature makes an attack or casts a spell that affects an enemy creature, this spell ends.

Shield of Faith

[sblock="3rd Level"]
Revivify
3rd-level necromancy (Ritual)
Casting Time: 2 rounds
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (diamonds worth 300 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a creature that has died within the last 15 minutes. That creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.
At Higher Levels. When cast with a spell slot of 4th level, Revivify has a casting time of 1 action.
When cast with a spell slot of 5th level or higher, Revivify has a casting time of 1 bonus action.

[sblock="5th Level"]
Raise Dead
5th level necromancy (Ritual)
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 500 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous

You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.
This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. This spell can't return an undead creature to life.
This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival- its head, for instance- the spell automatically fails.
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
At higher levels. When you cast Raise Dead with a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the penalty is reduced by 1 for each level above 5th.

Resurrection
7th-level necromancy (Ritual)
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth at least 1,000 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, that didn't die of old age, and that isn't undead. If its soul is free and willing, the target returns to life with all its hit points.
This spell neutralizes any poisons and cures normal diseases afflicting the creature when it died. It doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, and the like; if such effects aren't removed prior to casting the spell, they afflict the target on its return to life.
This spell closes all mortal wounds and restores any missing body parts.
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a −4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.
Casting this spell to restore life to a creature that has been dead for one year or longer taxes you greatly. Until you finish a long rest, you can't cast spells again, and you have disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.
At higher levels. When you cast Resurrection with a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the penalty is reduced by 2 for each level above 7th.

1st level Cleric spells done (the existing ones at least, no new ones). Moved a few into "Domain only" categories.

Eurgh this is a big project. 2nd level spells listed, but not described (unless changed). Have to stop now for emergency coursework.

I really urge you to reconsider your format of presentation.

It really needs to be dead simple to spot what, if any, changes you have made, without having to use any other reference.

Also, I think you could get 99% of where you're going by simply identifying, say, the half-dozen Cleric spells you feel are the suckiest, and then present your improved versions of them.

Once you've done this for ever spell list, you can go back to Clerics and fix the next half-dozen sucky spells...

Possibly a Idiot.
What [MENTION=12731]CapnZapp[/MENTION] said.
Use something like red text, or underline for changes/additions and [-]strike[/-] for deleting things.
The (sub)class spell lists can just be lists of spells, then have a master spell list at the end, that way you don't have to copy/paste the entire spell every time you put it in a spell list.

then have a master spell list at the end
Just as long as you don't repeat the PHB's irritating lack of class spell list info at the spell. For instance:
Hold Person
2nd-level enhancement Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warlock and Wizard spell
...

(The decision to no longer state which classes get a specific spell was horribly misguided and I could buy a new PHB just for that reason alone if they added it back in a new printing)
