wordcraft.spellcraft.chant: what's the difference?

i see everything through a spiritual lens.
i cannot attend a church without noticing how remarkably un-christian most elements of church are. which brings me to prayers, litany, the word of god... all that.
they all sound remotely spell-like to me. but, what is a spell? it's a confession on intention right?
how do you make regular words have power? well, you can group them in an interesting way; make them rhyme, sing-song. if chants/prayers are lines of poetry, then so are spells. right?
