I would get color matched synthetic chinking, like log jammer or perma chink. Trying to use mortar to seal the small cracks will not yield a good result

I know, but I want to remake the full not just along the crack ,I already try perma chink, in Canada it is called Log Jam but , it is not economical, with a tube of 29 oz i am 1 foot . I also did a test with stucco, but the results were not like me ca granular rest and crumbles . best solution for me this is the cement masonry , but I do not know the right recipe .

This book by Rob Roy has a lot of great experiential material on this subject. Definitely worth having in your library.

Its been a while but I used recipe consisting of 3 parts sand, 1 part Portland cement and 1/2 part lime. Alott cheaper than logjam and perma chink and has held up well.

I used type S mortar. But the color is gray. If you want the mortar to be white, you will need white cement. You can find it at your local ready pour shop. I have not seen it at the big box stores, but you can probably order it. Good luck... I used log jam by the case. it cost about 110 bucks for 12 tubes...
