Finger picking pattern for Blessed Assurance

Can someone give me the finger picking pattern used on "Blessed Assurance" by Alan Jackson?

Thanks

Here's a video from the Opry but it appears to be a '3 down / 3 up' finger pick pattern, which is pretty standard.

For instances the open D chord would be (by string) D-down > G-down > B-down (then) high E-up > B-up > G-up

For Blessed Assurance, our church plays it as C>F>G>D>C (or something like that). So the open C chord might be picked like (by string) A-down > D-down > G-down (then) high E-up > B-up > G-up

That's the best I can tell. With Blessed Assurance, I don't finger pick it when I play, it's a 'strummer' for our church but when I finger picked it just now, some where finger picked and some were a strummed chord based on the amount of time between chord changes.
