Music about the Savior is no more a gimmick than giving them a New Testament or taking them to Starbucks.
Note that pianos were considered "sensual" by John Darby and the Brethren. The Church of Christ still rejects them. By their standards Lee used "worldly methods to attrack people."

Pianos with the black keys taken out are okay. Joke.
All denominations except the Catholics in the past considered pianos to be unacceptable, including the baptists (C. Spurgeon). The first local church I attended had no musical instruments. If you haven't tried worship without musical instruments before you quickly realize how much of a distraction they are. Multiply that distraction by amplified volume, electric guitars etc and there is the difference between genuine worship and worship induced by sound waves. It's all an act to make the audience part with their money. I'd like to see them draw the same crowds without rock music, then we'd see just how genuine they are.
