Cut this down to 60 total spells. You can move some of those cut cards into your sideboard.
Add at least 2 more lands, if not 4-6. The higher your AVG CMC, the more lands you'll need. Regarding lands, I know they're expensive - but the better the lands, the better the deck will run. If you're not already aware, All the lands in a sorted list is an amazing resource. A couple utility lands to consider: Ghost Quarter / Field of Ruin , Scavenger Grounds .
Mainboard suggestions: Generous Gift , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood , Harmonize
Swap out Druid of the Cowl for Elvish Mystic / Joraga Treespeaker . Fertile Ground / Utopia Sprawl would fit, too. Arbor Elf might be ok, but you'd have to mind your Forests. Like with land, the higher the AVG CMC, the more ramp you want. 12 ramp spells wouldn't be too many.
I'm not so sold on Goldenglow Moth, even though I am a fan. I think you'll get as much or more mileage out of good old fashioned Fog / Holy Day or even Order of the Stars . If it's lifegain you're after, Rest for the Weary . If you're trying to deal with flying creatures, then Deadly Recluse , or sideboard Plummet , or even Lingering Souls .
Sideboard Suggestions: Sundering Growth , Scavenging Ooze / Tormod's Crypt , Shalai, Voice of Plenty / Witchbane Orb / Leyline of Sanctity , Sanctimony , Pithing Needle , Elixir of Immortality

My cleric deck looks similar, but there have been a number of newer clerics that are good role players in such a tribal deck you may be interested in. Order of the Stars , Beloved Chaplain , and even Avacynian Priest can help you build a defense while you're looking for your win condition.
Heck, since I've rebuilt this deck myself, I find that much of the core no longer is included.
If you're looking for some more thoughts on what I did, you can see the deck here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-07-14-clergy/

Hey Astro2, the Orim's Chant is not in the SB. It is in the MaybeBoard.
I have many different suggestions:
-
since you have Mother of Runes and Order of the Stars , and even Transcendent Master , why not replacing Ghostly Prison with 4 Pariah . The effect is the same...
-
Generally speaking, your enchantments lack protection. 2-3 Fountain Watch as SB? It should be enough, but also consider 2 Eight-and-a-Half-Tails ...
-
I would add at least one more land... maybe an extra Cavern of Souls . Since you have no Aether Vial or other sources of mana ( Chrome Mox , Lotus Petal , etc.), 20 lands just do not seem enough.
Hope that helps. :)

Yes, I just put Axebane Guardian in last night and game testing it. It made a huge different in the deck! X any colors of mana is a super helpful on mana fixing! Totally agree with you.
Doorkeeper and Vent Sentinel can be a good one to add in for extra winning condition, I had try to put in different type of defender with color mana, but still colorless wall feels more consistent to me, if you have any idea to adjust to deck so that I can play different color defender would be great.
Currently I am thinking about going for life gain defender, which is focus on white. such as Fortified Rampart, Jeskai Barricade, Order of the Stars, Perimeter Captain, Pride Guardian, Stalwart Shield-Bearers, Wall of Essence, etc.

I would recommend the following cards: Kite Shield, Cathar's Shield, Darksteel Plate, General's Kabuto, Vanguard's Shield, Brave the Sands, Foriysian Interceptor, Builder's Blessing, Castle, Slagwurm Armor, Spidersilk Armor, Tower Defense, Wall of Essence, Wall of Air, Vine Trellis, Vertigo Spawn, Stalwart Shield-Bearers, Snow Fortress, Psychic Membrane, Pride Guardian, Plumeveil, Order of the Stars, Asceticism, Privileged Position, Leyline of Vitality, and I would go with no Planeswalkers and put in The Immortal Sun... Obviously you're not going to put in all of these cards in but now you have some more options
