It doesn't mean anything!

I think what you are wanting to ask is, what does "there but for the grace of God go I" mean?

"There but for the grace of God goes I" is something you say when you see a (often terrible) situation unfolding, in which the victims could well have been you.

You could change it a little to say "If it hadn't been for God's good graces, that could have been me going there". It speaks of fate, and luck, and how life's turns and twists can strike at any time.

Its a great saying, and when you use it you find yourself having empathy for those you are speaking of.
