If a great Rav would say this isn’t avodah zara, but rather a pareve and even proper song of connecting to Hashem (if sung with the right intentions like good Yidden do), I hope you wouldn’t have any reservations about embracing it. Minhag Yisrael (within the aforementioned parameters) is a great great Rav.
